I hate reality TV. ... But the other night I caught part of "Married at First Sight, Australia" and I appear to be hooked. I doubt any of them will last, but for some reason I really want to keep watching to find out !! I hate myself for it...

What is your most surprising (to yourself or your friends if they knew) guilty pleasure?

Wrestling.

Never watched it as a kid, was never remotely interested in it.

But you know what, those guys and girls put on a good show, it's fun to watch.

It's like, Wrestling is to actual combat sports (boxing/MMA), what The Grand Tour is to motoring journalism. Entertainment.

Home and Away

Wifey has watched it for a good few years as a bit "filler" until Emmerdale starts at 7. After starting a new job back in 2017, I've been home for 6:30 every evening (just as the programme starts) and I've now found myself quite enjoying it. Yeah, some of the storylines are far fetched and some of the acting is a bit wooden but I've "warmed" to quite a few characters (Dean, Ziggy, Alf, Ryder). I was actually a bit put out when Ben & Maggie Astoni left the show.

I’ve never had a TV in my bedroom, so I always love the novelty of watching TV in bed when staying in hotels

Why did this get moved? A guilty pleasure doesn't just have to be about something on TV or radio surely? confused

MasterChef.

I'm not into cooking or fine dining or posh restaurants or anything like that, but I try not to miss to many episodes of MasterChef despite the fact that I don't even watch much telly in the first place. I don't even care when it's the Celebrity folk on it even tho I tend not to know who many of them are whereas I'd normally be anti celeb anything.

A slice of toast at bedtime or a crumpet or (best of all) a rowie with unsalted butter and a dollop of Lidl strawberry jam. yum

Casualty. Been watching it for 15 years. I don't tell people because it makes me look sad.

Indeed not nor was it intended to be purely about TV shows. I was wondering if we would get vegans who sneak a burger now and again etc......

I am also with you on this show. I am about a day or so behind though, just watched the first dinner party

Only the Australian one though, not the UK, which is weird.

Ines is a total psychopath. I feel sorry for Bronson.
Martha is stunning
I can’t stop referring to Cyrell as Cyril, as in Sneer.
